Paddy Power
Paddy Power is an Irish-founded bookmaker offering online and retail sports betting, horse racing and casino products across the UK and Ireland.
Who Runs Paddy Power
Paddy Power runs betting shops on both sides of the Irish Sea: its parent, Flutter Entertainment plc, reports 506 of them across the United Kingdom and Ireland as of 31 December 2025. The business was assembled in 1988 from the merger of three independent bookmakers, one of which Flutter's own filing traces back to an Irish incorporation in 1958. Online betting in Great Britain is licensed to PPB Counterparty Services Limited on Gambling Commission account 39439, and the app on the UK App Store is published by Paddy Power PLC.
One Licence for Two Sportsbooks
Account 39439 carries exactly two active trading names: paddy power and betfair. The two sportsbooks are the same licensed company in Great Britain, which is worth knowing before using one as a price check on the other. The account holds remote licences for general betting on real events, running since 1 November 2014, and on virtual events, added on 3 October 2017. Pool betting for paddypower.com sits on a separate account, 39411, held by PPB Games Limited, so the tote pools and the fixed-odds book on one website are run by two different companies.
What You Can Bet On
Fixed odds on real and virtual events, and tote pools on racing. Paddy Power's own App Store listing advertises accumulators, bet builders, and its "power prices" and "mix 'n' match" markets — which are its names for price boosts and for combining selections, not separate products. Paddy Power does not accept customers from a long list of territories; confirm eligibility in the terms before registering.

Our Take
Paddy Power ran 506 betting shops across the UK and Ireland at the end of 2025, and online it is a conventional fixed-odds and tote operation split across two GB licence accounts. The useful thing to know is that its GB sportsbook licence is shared with Betfair's, so the two are not independent books. Eligibility is the usual obstacle: the exclusion list is long and is set in the terms.
